I like the concept of this activity. Even though there might be more opportunity to provide a better layout for "switching the point of attack" there is still enough to use to accomplish this. I would open the area up a bit more to allow for more ball movement. This might help capture the idea of switching the point of attack.
There's no switching here. When the Coach says other teams switch in the air, he means diagonal in the air switches that break lines and find the weak side of the field, here what the team is doing is switching slowly with the U theory (playing back from side to side), making it even worse by having to pass 5 times first, before switching. Other problem is that Coach says "player that made a mistake must work harder to commend his mistake" the whole team must work harder when a teammate made a mistake, not just the player that lost the ball, if not we are emphasizing in giving our best only when "I make a mistake".
No, this seems to be switching, moving from left to right to pass through the wings but it isnt realistic game play because the width is not there. It is just a keep ball warm up game. Specifying the number of touches gets in the way of efficient switching too.
4 players in the middle standing watching doing nothing, team who are keeping poison just standing in a circle not moving. Not game realistic or not helpful as a drill either
I don't see the point of this excercise really. The shape is off and doesn't really emulate real-game scenarios when you have to switch play looking for the cracks and weak points in the opposition's defense.
Say what you want about the activity, but this is some of the best passing and receiving I have seen on youtube.
Anytime I look at other coaches sessions I look at how I can improve it not to criticize .

Wouldn't this practice be forward passing as opposed to switching the play based on the direction of your playing area??
Exactly, as there's literally no need to switch the play whatsoever
4v4v4(3 teams) 2players press the ball (3 touches game)

Its not realistic
